"All I know is I wish my daughter came here earlier. Phil and the soccer program he has built has been the best experience for her. I’m glad she transferred here to play for him and win a championship. This program doesn’t win its first championship without him as the leader and all the players he recruited. He did everything for this program and for its players. As she was one of his leaders, she truly enjoyed everything and the experience he gave her and her teammates. She will have a RING forever!!!

Accessible Honest Knowledgeable Develops Team Beyond The Field Organized

"Of course players have their opinions, especially those who don’t play and don’t like the commitment of what a D1 has to make. I have played for him for 4 years and I have never played for any coach who cares as much as Phil. Yes he is honest. Yes he is intense. Yes he is old school but that made me a better player and person. This program finally has expectations, standards and a coach who holds everyone accountable. Thank you Phil "
